Privacy Policy
Last updated: 17 June 2026
CareCompanion ("CareCompanion," "we," "us") provides a caregiving organizer that helps people track medications, routines, activities, appointments, health events, and recipes, and share care with a trusted circle. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your rights. It applies to the CareCompanion iOS app and the website at getcarecompanion.com.
1. Who is responsible
CareCompanion is the data controller for the personal data described here. For any privacy question, contact us at getcarecompanion@gmail.com or via getcarecompanion.com/contact.
2. Information we collect
We only collect what's needed to run the service. We do not use advertising or tracking SDKs.
- Account information — your email address and the display name you provide (or that Apple provides when you use Sign in with Apple). If you choose "Hide My Email," we receive Apple's private relay address instead of your real email.
- Care data you enter (health information) — medications and dosages, medication logs, routines, activities, appointments, and health events (including notes, severity, and triggers). Some of this is health-related data.
- Other content you create — recipes, diet plans, notes, and the messages you send to other members of your care circle.
- Care circle information — the email addresses you use to invite co-caregivers, and your relationships within a circle.
- Account identifier — a unique user ID we assign to your account.
- Subscription status — whether you have an active Premium subscription. Payments are processed by Apple (in-app purchases); we never receive or store your card details.
We do not collect your location, your device contacts/address book, advertising identifiers, or usage analytics/diagnostics.
3. How we use your information
We use your data solely to provide the app's functionality: to create and secure your account, store and sync your care plan, deliver reminders, enable messaging and care-circle sharing, and manage your subscription. We do not sell your data, use it for advertising, or share it with data brokers.
4. Legal bases (EEA/UK users)
We process your data to perform our contract with you (providing the service), based on your consent where you provide health information, and for our legitimate interests in operating and securing the app. You can withdraw consent at any time by deleting the relevant data or your account.
5. How your information is shared
We share data only with:
- Service providers who host and run the app on our behalf — primarily Supabase (database, authentication, and storage). They process data under our instructions and are bound by confidentiality and data-protection terms.
- Apple, for processing in-app subscription purchases.
- People you choose — members of a care circle you create or join can see the care data and messages shared within that circle.
We may disclose data if required by law or to protect rights and safety.
6. Data retention and deletion
We keep your data while your account is active. You can delete your account at any time from Settings → Delete account in the app, which permanently removes your data (medications, routines, recipes, messages, and circles you own). You can also export your data at any time from Settings.
7. Security
Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and protected at the database level with row-level security so that you and your care circle can only access your own data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to protect your information.
8. Your rights
Depending on your location, you have the right to access, correct, export, restrict, or delete your personal data, and to object to certain processing. You can exercise most of these directly in the app (edit, export, or delete), or contact us at getcarecompanion@gmail.com. EEA/UK users may also lodge a complaint with their local data-protection authority (in Sweden, the IMY).
9. Children's privacy
CareCompanion is intended for adult caregivers and is not directed to children. A caregiver may record care information about a child they care for; that information is treated as the caregiver's account data under this policy. We do not knowingly collect data directly from children under 13 (or the applicable age in your country).
10. International transfers
Your data may be processed on servers located outside your country, including by our service providers. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses) for these transfers.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We'll revise the "Last updated" date above and, for material changes, provide notice in the app or by email.
